Update: In an effort to sign Brees to a long-term deal before the Feb. 23 deadline for franchise or transition tag designation, the Chargers have made their initial contract offer to Brees' agent, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Recommendation: It is almost certain that if no deal is reached the Chargers will designate Brees a franchise or transition player so they do not risk losing him without compensation or a chance to match a competing offer. Brees' 2006 salary as a franchise or transition player would be approximately $9.7 million. Brees would become an unrestricted free agent if he is not designated one or the other.
